Scott,
Are you trolling with electric or kicker? Kicker if electric start and connected to battery will charge as well. The big screens and live scopes are power eaters. As mentioned this last trip I ran out of power with 12 volt 50 amp after about 8 hours of use.

I troll with my 9.9 ProKicker and sometimes steer with the electric motor.  But you are correct, I think my ProKicker is indeed charging my crank battery.  I'm not a livescoper, but the big screen I have only draws 2.8amps.  So, a 50amp/hr batter would last 16 hrs or so with no charging from the kicker motor.   More than I will EVER fish in one day. I do run both of my 12V downriggers off my crank battery too. As far as a 4 blade prop, yes it definitely gets you out of the hole quicker but it sure seems to me to be more stable in turns and even at lower throttle speeds. I could care less about losing 1 or 2 mph top end speed. My boat with a regular 115hp, 4 stroke (not an ProXS) runs 37-38mph with 2 big guys and all their tackle, anchor, tool box, etc. That is perfect for me. If I wanted to go faster I could have opted for a 150, but the weight difference (about 100lbs) and better fuel economy on the 115 as well as about 3+ thousand $$ price hike sold me. I was worried about being underpowered, but that worry was dismissed after my first trip out.
